The use of the District’s educational technology (not limited to Internet, telecommunications, hardware and software) is a privilege, which may be revoked for inappropriate behavior. Users are responsible for understanding the policy and guidelines as conditions for use. Educators and school personnel are accountable to teach and use technology responsibly. GDOE's Education Technology Use Policy shall include established rules and regulations for all users accessing the GDOE network. Use of the District’s technology that is inconsistent with this policy may result in the loss of access, legal action, and disciplinary action up to and including suspension or expulsion from school. Internet service shall be filtered and used in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Policy (CIPA) and other relevant regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. GDOE blocks or filters content over the Internet that the District considers inappropriate for students. This includes pornography, obscene material, and other material that may be harmful to students. GDOE may also block or filter other content deemed to be inappropriate, lacking educational related content, social media with inappropriate content, or that pose a threat to the GDOE network. The school principal shall establish rules and regulations in adherence to this policy. These rules and regulations must be included in the school handbook. In order to use the District’s technology, students must sign the approved Educational Technology Standards of Operations and Technology User Agreement (form) contained in the Appendix. By signing the User Agreement, the following guidelines are agreed to: I. ACCEPTABLE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY USE GUIDELINE A.
